I've been working on a replacement for BBDB, called EBDB (https://github.com/girzel/ebdb.git). It's made with EIEIO, and is meant to be very extensible: all kinds of record field classes, multiple databases, different database backends, internationalization, etc. It's probably not going to work well with Emacs < 25. It's sort of easing out of alpha towards beta, and I'm hoping some brave souls might be willing to help me bang on it and see how it breaks. I'm particularly interested in problems with migrating BBDB records to the EBDB format. See the README if you're interested! Thanks, Eric
